Not so sure about that comment. (Wiki)

oh that is a beauty move. can have varying effects from an infusion of common sense and all the way up to a full blown boss tantrum

have to have someone to blame.

with the lack of interest in service to nation today.......I think conscription will be the way of the future. everyone serves. period.

You are correct, problem is the red flags aren't necessarily actions by the perpetrators, that can get them locked up. perhaps if more investigation is conducted, surveillance and so on, but the number of red flag people far outnumbers the resources to track them proactively. so choices have...

think thats not a bad way of doing it. if a fella or gal wishes only to be a Constable/Corporal for their career - there's no need for them to obtain a Doctorate vs. someone who wants to be a Chief or Commissioner - should have the appropriate academic credentials. without changing a thing...

On December 4, Wortman's spouse, her older brother, and a brother-in-law were charged with providing Wortman ammunition that he used in the attacks. The spouse was believed to have transferred .223 Remington and .40 Smith & Wesson cartridges, all of them purchased in Nova Scotia, between March...

welllll, first of all lethal force is supposed to be reserved for calls where no other option is available to end the problem, and also because when the cops smoke someone - the presumption is they did something wrong and have to live through months and sometimes years of being investigated by...

seem to recall some associates getting jammed up criminally shortly after the massacre......

depends on the model used, the commission talks about Finland's approach. This would mean paying recruits for their 3 year degree course, which is a lot longer than the current model and depending on costing - would be more expensive if mirrored from the Finns. I am advised by a Finnish...

going way way back, the rumor net indicated that the RCMP would be compared in pay rate with the 10 largest police forces (oooopsie Services) in Canada, so - the Horsepeople, Toronto, Montreal, OPP, SdeQ and down the line. Mounties were supposed to be 6th in pay within this grouping. Having no...

1 million per cent, love the balls of people who will never leave any skin behind, want to hop into these ill advised ventures.

time will tell. i believe the deal the RCMP give to provinces/municipalities in the past was on the back of under paying their cops, in comparison to other large police agencies. once this evens out, and once provinces/muni's have to pay the whole meal deal, they will in my mind, more likely...

sorry to hear that, some Ontario jobs, mine included provide extremely generous mental health supports. its just good business as we do one of those jobs where help with the soul and heart, is really expedient and helpful.

from the 8 odd killed in past while, BC RCMP officer - evicting a camper - likely mental health, the South Simcoe ambush - doesnt appear clearly mental health, the Toronto bike officer - criminal who ambushed a cop doing a java run, the OPP fella - criminal ambush, the Surete - not sure, might...

trying to toss a cop is no simple task due to our having an association to defend the members.......ps. not unionized.......otherwise you would see cop strikes..........I am sure that if CAF went union or association (can you imagine - overtime while deployed or on ex) the end result would be...

im sure the O Dots are trying to get rid of him, but that can take years if he and his lawyer fight it tooth and nail and all the way, why......to keep getting paid as long as possible. so ya. something better is required, but will need certain provisions to ensure cops charged criminally...

that is a fair point. quite a few of my peers might be great at de-escalation of heightened circumstances, conducting enforcement activities, etc......but don't get a whole lot of mindset preparation, other than what they do on their own......and SWAT usually know well in advance of the stakes...

yep, plus - due to the state of care for the mentally ill in Canada, there are thousands of people walking along who, after going off medication, declining due to their mental health problem and grabbing whatever to arm themselves, sometimes get killed by police. never have had to do that, but...
